Translation
Know that all beautiful, glorious, and mighty creations spring from but a spark of My splendor.
Purport
Any glorious or beautiful existence should be understood to be but a fragmental manifestation of Kṛṣṇa's opulence, whether it be in the spiritual or material world. Anything extraordinarily opulent should be considered to represent Kṛṣṇa's opulence.
What this verse teaches
There is no end to Kṛṣṇa’s divine opulences. All that is majestic, beautiful and powerful is a spark of Kṛṣṇa’s splendor. He pervades and supports the entire universe with a single fragment of His power.
